20 things we learned in the Miami Dolphins' 16-10 win over the Tennessee Titans

CHARLES TRAINOR JR / TNS

The defense put in a dominant showing against the Marcus Mariota-less Tennessee Titans, but the offense was only slightly better than it had been in the past two losses. Still, the Dolphins get to .500 and don't have to worry about a second straight 1-4 start.

The Dolphins have been displaced by Hurricane Irma, lost their bye week, traveled more miles (16,000) in the first month of the season than most teams travel all season for road games, and the offense has been anemic for all four games. Somehow, though, the Dolphins still find themselves at .500 following Sunday’s victory over Tennessee, which should ease some of the tension in Davie. The problems aren’t fixed, but at least it’s not time to panic yet. -- Omar Kelly
